Chapter 167: Doctor Zhang's Persuasion
When Chang Tianlei learned from the letter sent by Lu Mingtao to Lin Zhu that General Chang had returned to the capital, Dong Yuzhen also came to the door with the apology prepared by Li Dabai.
"Sister Jane, they didn't embarrass you, did they?" As soon as Dong Yuzhen came over, Lin Zhu looked her up and down, left, right, and right.
"No, that Li Dabai gave me a small Zhuangzi in order to let me go on this trip. It's my mother who said that the heat is almost over, and I will come over, Sister Xiaozhu, you won't blame me. Dong Yuzhen hurriedly explained, she was afraid that Lin Zhu would be crooked, thinking that she was greedy for the benefits of the Li family and interceded.
"How so?" Lin Zhu shook his head with a smile, took her hand and said, "Sister Zhen hasn't been grounded for a long time because of my drag, but you won't blame me for this, right?" ”
"Alright, you're both right." Zhang Manyun looked at the two of them admitting their mistakes to each other with a smile, "Sit down and warm up for a while, Sister Zhen has worked hard to come over on a cold day." ”
Lin Zhu also suddenly, "Yes, yes, Sister Zhen, come and sit down." Quickly pulled Dong Yuzhen to the chair next to the carbon basin and sat down.
"Sister Manyun, thank you for coming to see me." Dong Yuzhen thanked Zhang Manyun softly. "This is a gift from Mother for you," she said, taking a box from Shui Tao's hand. "This one is for Sister Manqing." also gave another box to Zhang Manqing.
At first, Zhang Manqing didn't want to take it, but Zhang Manyun glared at him, so he had to step forward and take the box, "Mrs. Xie Lu Xie Lin." Xie Lu Xie Zhen sister (younger sister). The Zhang sisters said in unison.
"Sister Jane, isn't there any mine?" Lin Zhu pouted. Pretending to be unhappy, asked.
"How can I miss you?" Dong Yuzhen looked at Lin Zhu with a scheming expression. "Here, here's the list, you go and take a good look at it."
Lin Zhu took an envelope handed over by Dong Yuzhen and pulled out a few pieces of paper from it, "No, so much?" Lin Zhu looked at the thick stack of gift lists in disbelief.
"Here are my mother's return gifts for you, as well as the Li family's apology, and my father's." Dong Yuzhen gave a brief introduction.
"How can there be a county magistrate? I don't seem to have much friendship with him, do I? "Dong Jisheng is Dong Yuzhen's father, so in front of her, Lin Zhu won't say anything about him.
"This. Mother said you just have to accept it. There won't be a problem. Dong Yuzhen was a little embarrassed, after all, her father was and is on the side of the Li family.
Since Mrs. Lin has spoken, it means that there is no problem with these things and you can accept them. Lin Zhu naturally didn't laugh at it.
"Sister Jane. When you go back, you must be expressing my gratitude to Aunt Yu for me. Lin Zhu said solemnly to Dong Yuzhen. In fact, Lin Zhu understood in his heart. Mrs. Lin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she is very thoughtful, and she must have seen the way from it. That's why Dong Yuzhen came to give her peace of mind.
"My mother also asked me to thank you, she also said that everything depends on your own meaning, forgive the Li family, you can do what you think, but my mother also said a word, I don't know if you want to hear it?" Dong Yuzhen looked at Lin Zhu with some embarrassment.
Dong Yuzhen's words made Lin Zhu and the Zhang family sisters show curious expressions, "Sister Zhen, say it." Lin Zhu nodded.
"That's right, you'd rather say it quickly, and you'll have a clean appetite." Zhang Manqing also listened attentively on the side.
"My mother said, leave a line in work, and see each other in the future." After Dong Yuzhen finished speaking, she carefully looked at Lin Zhu's face and found that she was not angry, but just sat there quietly. "Sister Xiaozhu, this is just my mother's casual talk, you can do what you want."
"Sister Zhen, I have to discuss this matter with my godfather and them, but I still have to remind Aunt Xie Yu for me." Since becoming friends with Dong Yuzhen, Mrs. Lin asked Lin Zhu to call her Aunt Yu. "Otherwise, you go with me to find my godfather and see what he says?"
"Okay." Dong Yuzhen nodded, after all, this kind of thing requires adults to come forward.
The two came to Dr. Zhang's study, and Chang Tianlei and Chang Shi were in Dr. Zhang's study at this time, because General Chang's return to Beijing was being discussed.
Seeing Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen coming, he was busy talking. Dong Yuzhen gave them a salute, and then sat aside like Lin Zhu, ready to listen to Dr. Zhang's opinion.
Lin Zhu explained to Dr. Zhang what Mrs. Lin meant. On the other side, Chang Tianlei always looked at Dong Yuzhen inadvertently. And Dong Yuzhen also seemed to feel his gaze, glanced at him, but didn't expect the sight to meet, Chang Tianlei's somewhat burning gaze made Dong Yuzhen blush.
"You're fine, are you?" Chang Tianlei asked in a low voice, he was referring to her grounding.
Dong Yuzhen was embarrassed to talk to him here, but shook her head shyly.
"Sister Zhen, I agree with Aunt Yu's statement." Lin Zhu's voice suddenly sounded in Dong Yuzhen's ears, startling her, "What? ”
"I mean, I agree with Aunt Yu's idea, and I won't deal with the Li family anymore." Lin Zhu repeated it again, and suddenly looked at her with some questions, "Sister Zhen, what are you thinking?" What a distraction. ”
After speaking, Lin Zhu's eyes suddenly turned to Chang Tianlei, who was still in the room, Chang Tianlei couldn't see the dark red on his face because his skin was tanned, but his dodging eyes couldn't help but make Lin Zhu suspect that something seemed to have happened between the two when she didn't see her. But now is not the time to interrogate Chang Tianlei.
"Nothing." Dong Yuzhen shook her head embarrassedly. "In that case, how can I tell the people of the Li family when I go back?" She hastened to change the subject.
"When you go back, you don't have to say anything, leaving your things here is the best answer." Doctor Zhang said that accepting the things was equivalent to accepting the Li family's apology, and Lin Zhu didn't have to see Li Dabai again. The thing was not done by Lin Zhu's envoy, just like Dong Yuzhen was a favor between Lin Zhu and the Li family, Lin Zhu was also a favor between Muyue Commercial Bank and the Li family.
"This?" Dong Yuzhen didn't understand a little.
"After you go back, Aunt Yu will tell you." Lin Zhu explained to her softly that Dong Yuzhen came over this time, and many of the people who followed her were sent by Dong Jisheng, and it was inevitable that they would see something from her, and Lin Zhu could only hint at her.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Dong Yuzhen stood up and wanted to say goodbye.
Chang Tianlei was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to keep her at this time, so he had to watch her leave.
"Hey, I've come back to my senses, everyone is far away." Lin Zhu pushed Chang Tianlei, who came out with her to send Dong Yuzhen.
"Uh," Chang Tianlei was a little embarrassed by what she said, feeling that now was not the time to face Lin Zhu, so he wanted to stay away from Lin Zhu immediately, for fear of being forced to ask by her. "What, Mr. Du, there's still something going on, I'll go and see first." After saying that, he fell into the wilderness and fled.
"Hmph, coward." Lin Zhu snorted, temporarily let Chang Tianlei go, and did not pursue it.
"Godgrandpa, don't I have to come forward?" Lin Zhu returned to Dr. Zhang's study and asked him about the Li family.
"Well, you don't have to come forward, the Li family sent so many things over, just to show the Muyue Commercial Bank, and since we have stayed, I believe that the matter of the Li family will be solved soon." Dr. Zhang stroked his beard.
"Hmph, it's really cheap for the Li family." Lin Zhu snorted and said, "However, this lesson is enough for them to drink a pot." Lin Zhu gloated.
"Cheap?" Old Doctor Zhang shook his head with a smile, "It's not the same as the family you taught surnamed Wang, this time the Li family is going to have a big blood return." Doctor Zhang roughly mentioned the loss of the Li family, and Lin Zhu was a little stunned when he listened.
"No, did the Li family really lose several stores?" Lin Zhu has never been to Song County since the last time he solved the Wang family's affairs, so he doesn't know much about the tragic situation of the Li family's rice shop.
"Hehe, maybe it's not just that, the most important thing in a rice shop is the quality of rice, his family's reputation may not be restored for a while, Lu Mingtao's kid, this hand is too ruthless. But it's a lot of fun. Dr. Zhang laughed heartily.
"Grandpa, Chang Tianlei, have they decided when to leave?" Although Lin Zhu was also very happy that the Li family had been punished, she was also a little sad about the departure of Chang Tianlei and the three of them.
"After the New Year, go back with us." Dr. Zhang said the result they had just discussed. Returning to the capital unconsciously is the best way. So far, I haven't told Concubine Lan that they are here, so for the sake of safety, it's better not to contact her yet. "Bamboo girl, there's something I want you to think about." Doctor Zhang looked at her and said.
"What's the matter?"
"Since Lu Mingtao has already helped you buy a Zhuangzi near the capital, you might as well move there to live, close to us, and it is convenient to take care of you, otherwise you are here, even if there is anything, we will not be able to reach it." Dr. Zhang knew the concerns in her heart, but they could rest assured that they could settle their home near the capital.
"But I have so much going on here." Lin Zhu has some inseparable feelings for Linjia Village.
"After all, the capital is much better than here, and in the future, Fudouer's enlightenment and reading will be stronger than here. Besides, you can keep the things here and let people take care of them for you, or you can sell them, Lu Mingtao bought you a 500-acre Zhuangzi is not enough for you to toss. Doctor Zhang advised.
"But the bamboo garden, people are reluctant, and Grandpa Du is also helping me design it. There are mountains and rivers, houses and fields, and if the courtyard is built, it must be very beautiful. "The rest is good to say, the bamboo garden from the moment I saw the bamboo and wanted to design it into a beautiful leisurely, play place.
"Then keep it, and after it is built, I will come and live for a few days when I have time." Dr. Zhang himself also has Zhuangzi for him to use in his leisure time, so of course he understands Lin Zhu's thoughts. "However, here in Linjia Village, what are you going to do?" (To be continued......)
